Snippets

The oU Snippets series consists of short presentations – 3-5 minutes – on one specific topic. They differ from the regular lectures in that they are not trying to provide an in depth view, but rather allow to quickly and efficiently approach a new subject.

The Snippets visuals are different from the regular visuals used in the lectures. For example they do not contain a “message” strapline, and they are significantly more simple (and hence quicker to present). One might think about them as flashcards rather than as outright support pages, and in fact for most Snippets the goal is to be able to follow them audio-only.
